Nyx Silky Rose Powder Blush- Nyx’s Powder Blushes have long been one of my favorites...with the exception of this one. Silky Rose has an incredibly dry formula and gives hardly any pigmentation. For these reasons, I am just throwing this blush out.2 Jordana Twist & Shine Balm Stains and Rimmel Colour Rush Balm Stain - I have no problem with the formula of these, I actually quite like it, but these colors just really aren’t me. I think they are pretty, but if I’m wanting to wear a lip color I won’t be choosing a pink or coral shade.Essence All About Matt! Powder- I really liked this powder. Unfortunately with the inexpensive packaging, the lid broke off quickly, but I did still continue to use it until the small remaining amount of powder shattered. I really love Essence as a brand and will continue to support them!Nyx Matte Finish Setting Spray - I believe this is the third bottle that I have used up, and I still love it. For now, I have been using a cheaper spray from City Color, but I’m sure some time I will return to my go-to setting spray.Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara - I quite enjoyed this little guy and luckily got gifted the full size for my birthday! I haven’t opened up that one yet, but I definitely will be as soon as I use up a couple other mascaras.​Lorac Cobra Mascara - I get plenty of these deluxe sized mascaras and this one was just pretty average, and I do not like the shape of the wand, so no repurchase for me.Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara - This mascara has been one of my favorites for quite a long time. I believe this is my third tube I’ve gone through. Best Lash Extreme has a good balance of length, thickness and volume. I must just be hard on my drugstore products, since this mascara is another product I have broken the lid of.

Clean & Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Wash- I really liked this face wash, and especially liked that it comes out in a foam, instead of a typical cream or gel. It worked well with my skin and was gentle enough to remove my eye makeup.Clean & Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Scrub- To work along with the face wash, I also used this scrub from the same line. It is a cream exfoliator, so it works well on more sensitive skin.Tony Moly Tea Tree Sheet Mask- Sheet masks are becoming quite a trend, and Korean skincare brands have become more accessible thanks to this. My skin likes to freak out frequently, so using this mask was nice to calm it down a bit.Axe Anarchy for Her Spray- When I am looking for a body spray versus a “fragrance” I turn to my Axe sprays. I’ve got a lot of sprays to use up at the moment, but I’m sure I will repurchase in the future.Formula 10.0.6 Mattifying Oil-free Moisturizer - This moisturizer doesn’t quite feel like a ‘face lotion’. It does have a matte finish after application, but I wouldn’t say that it kept my skin any more matte throughout the day. It wasn’t a bad product, but I prefer my other moisturizer from Formula 10.0.6 (which also has SPF) so I will be returning to it.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque - I purchased this after it was super hyped up on YouTube and finally finished it up after taking a break from it. It is a nice conditioner, but definitely not nice enough to justify the price. For this reason, I do not plan on repurchasing.​Feria Smokey Blue Shimmering Color - I have been on the hunt for the best silver hair dye for my hair, and I found this shade on sale, so I picked up 2 boxes. I know that it is technically a pastel blue shade, but it looks similar to a silver. It didn’t hold onto the darker blonde pieces of my hair, but it did last longer than the Ion Titanium dye.

Organix Moroccan Agan Oil Intense Moisturizing Treatment - I bought this in an attempt to get my hair to be softer and more silky, but it didn’t do anything that a typical conditioner can do. No repurchase here.Matrix Biolage Keratindose Shampoo - I have been using Matrix shampoos for a little while now and still enjoy them. They lather well and the liter lasts a pretty long time. I typically pick up a bottle at the Beauty Brands liter sale, so I'm sure I'll grab another Matrix shampoo soon.
